| Bismillah Salam Alaikum; By: Hafiz InTo The Mirror Of My Cup The Reflection Of Your Glorious Face Fell And From The Gentle Laughter Of Love, InTo A Drunken State Of Longing I Fell. Struck With Wonder By The Beauty Of The Picture That WithIn My Cup I BeHeld The Picture Of This World Of Illusion From The Reflection Of My Mind Fell. Beneath The Sword Of Grief Of Love For You There Lies A Joy No Tongue Can Tell. For That One Who Was Slain By You Found Happiness The Instant The Axe Fell. From The House Of Prayer InTo The House Of Drink I Fell Not Of MySelf For Eternity It Was Meant To Be You, Came To Me And InTo Drunkeness I Fell. From The BeginingLess Beginning Beneath The Veil Your Face Was Hidden Well But UpOn Those With Love And Wisdom, A Ray From Your Most Glorious Face Fell. All This World, Reflected Wonder, Wine And Love And Song, In Which We Dwell Is Nothing But A Fragment Of The One Whose Reflection InTo My Cup Fell. With A Loving Eye And Pure Vision The Holy Pilgrim Saw Your Face So Well. But He Whose Eye Was Clouded With Thought Saw You Not And InTo Earthly Desire Fell. The Holy Ones Who Quote The Scripture Have Seen Your Face And Possess Some Of Your Wealth. But HeartBroken And Destitute, From Their Midst, InTo DisRepute Hafiz Fell. Fi Amanillah Ziad |
